Advances in RF Bioeffect Mechanisms

摘要：

This paper analyzes the many established and speculative biophysical mechanisms of interaction between RF energy and living tissue to assess the possible biological effects of exposures at or below the level of endogenous electric fields (generally, 1 to 102 V·m-1), with emphasis on conditions where temperature increases are insignificant (<<1K). Two RF mech-anisms plausibly may affect biological matter under the exposure conditions stated above. For frequencies below approximately 150 MHz, shifts in the rate of chemical reactions can be medi-ated by radical pairs and at all frequencies, dielectric and resistive loss mechanisms dissipate the incident energy and increase the entropy of the affected biological system.
